[Cambridge. Queen's College, President's Gallery.] 59. [Queen's College was founded in 1446 by Margaret of Anjou and Elizabeth Wydvil. The whole of the first court, together with the Library and Chapel, was finished within a few years of the foundation. The President's Gallery, which was superimposed on the older northern cloister, is a beautiful and little altered specimen of the domestic architecture of the 16th Century. It was panelled by Humphrey Tindal, who was President between 1579 and 1614. The Gallery, one of the oustanding buildings in Cambridge, consists of one large room; in addition to the fine timber work and picturesque windows, it is notable for some fine paintings, including one by Reynolds and one by Holbein of Erasmus, who is the most famous of all the names associated with the College. The exterior of the Gallery was originally even more striking than it is now; 17th century prints show that all the windows on the court side were double decker bow windows resting on wooden pillars and surmounted by lofty turrets. They proved too heavy, and were reduced to the present proportions, the middle window remaining closest to the original design for all three of them.]

Georgiana Quentin (d.1853) was the wife of Lieutenant-Colonel George Augustus Quentin, aide-de-camp to the Prince Regent 1811-25, when he was appointed Equerry to the Crown Stables. She was widely believed to be the Prince's mistress, and was referred to as 'Harriet Quentin' or 'Mrs Quentin'. This portrait is coppied from one that appeared in an 1822 pamphlet, ''Memoirs of the Celebrated Mrs Q---' by "Edward Eglantine", a pseudonym of Radical publisher William Benbow (1787-1864). Elizabeth Henrietta Conyngham (d.1839) was the daughter of Elizabeth Conyngham, Marchioness Conyngham, George IV's mistress. While William Blake experimented with both his poetry and printing he had to continue to engrave the work of others to stave off abject poverty.

Circonstances Principales de la Vie du R.P. Quesnel & Ses principaux ecrits.
[Anon, c.1720]
Engraving, scarce; sheet 295 x 230mm (11½ x 9"). Trimmed, losing part of image at bottom.
Portrait of Pasquier Quesnel (1634-1719), Jansenist theologian, surrounded by a garland listing his published works. An unusual combination of portraiture and bibliography. In 2009 the Princeton University Library Graphic Arts blog, discussing their impression of this portrait, stated 'the only other impression we have located is in the Bibliothèque Nationale'. Our impression has been trimmed whereas Princeton's has, at the bottom, an empty rectangle flanked by two circles. This was presumably unfinished, to be filled with text and allegorical symbols similar to those in the top left and right corners.

Paschasius Quesnel.
Dessine d'apres nature. au mis de Juillet 1714.
Se vend chez J. Golle à Amsterdam.
Rare mezzotint, with large margins. Plate 222 x 165mm. 8¾ x 6½". Rubbed
Pasquier Quesnel (1634-1719) was a French Jansenist theologian who took a leading part in scholarly controversy, for example against Joseph Anthelmi. His Janesenist sympathies led to his banishment from Paris in 1681, and four years later he fled to Brussels where he remained until 1703. He was then arrested by order of the archbishop of Mechelen, but managed to escape and settle in Amsterdam for the remainder of his life. This print was made and published in Amsterdam during Quesnel's time there. Jansenism was a Christian theological movement, primarily in France, that emphasised sin, human depravity, the necesity of divine grace, and predestination.
